Impeach! Obama hid side deal with Iran

July 19, 2016 By: Stephen Dietrich

Recently uncovered documents seem to prove that President Barack Obama was involved in a deal that intentionally gave Iran an easy way to restart its nuclear weapons program.

The secret side deal was hidden from the American public for months. And it could allow Iran to quickly develop a nuclear bomb after Obama has left office.

Restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program will start to ease years before the 15-year accord expires, advancing Tehran’s ability to build a bomb even before the end of the pact.

That’s according to a leaked document that was revealed Monday, first reported by The Associated Press.

The confidential document is the only text linked to last year’s deal between Iran and six foreign powers that hasn’t been made public. It was given to the AP by a diplomat whose work has focused on Iran’s nuclear program for more than a decade, and its authenticity was confirmed by another diplomat who possesses the same document.

Both demanded anonymity because they were not authorized to share or discuss the document.

The diplomat who shared the text with the AP described it as an add-on agreement to the nuclear deal in the form of a document submitted by Iran to the International Atomic Energy Agency outlining its plans to expand its uranium enrichment program after the first 10 years of the nuclear deal.

But while formally separate from the bigger nuclear accord, he said that it was in effect an integral part of that pact and had been approved by the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the six powers that negotiated the deal with Tehran.

It also proves that Obama apparently withheld key information from the American public about how the pact affects Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Details published earlier outline most restraints on Iran’s nuclear program meant to reduce the threat that Tehran will turn nuclear activities it says are peaceful to making weapons.

But although some of the constraints extend for 15 years, documents in the public domain are short on details of what happens with Iran’s most proliferation-prone nuclear activity — its uranium enrichment — beyond the first 10 years of the agreement.

The document obtained by the AP fills in the gap. It says that as of January 2027 — 11 years after the deal was implemented — Iran will start replacing its mainstay centrifuges with thousands of advanced machines.

Centrifuges churn out uranium to levels that can range from use as reactor fuel and for medical and research purposes to much higher levels for the core of a nuclear warhead. From year 11 to 13, says the document, Iran will install centrifuges up to five times as efficient as the 5,060 machines it is now restricted to using.

Those new models will number less than those being used now, ranging between 2,500 and 3,500, depending on their efficiency, according to the document. But because they are more effective, they will allow Iran to enrich at more than twice the rate it is doing now.

In other words, while Obama is enjoying his retirement, Iran will be enriching uranium for warheads.

While the document doesn’t say what happens with centrifuge numbers and types past year 13, U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz told The AP that Iran will be free to install any number of advanced centrifuges beyond that point, even though the nuclear deal extends two additional years..

 

In selling the deal to skeptics, the U.S. administration said it is tailored to ensure that Iran would need at least 12 months to “break out” and make enough weapons grade uranium for at least one weapon. Moniz said the document obtained by the AP posed no contradiction to that claim because “we made it very clear that we were focused on 10 years on the minimum one-year breakout time.”

 

Iran insists it is not interested in nuclear weapons, and the pact is being closely monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA says Tehran has essentially kept to its commitments since the agreement was implemented, a little more than six months after Iran and the six powers finalized it on July 14, 2015.

Marking the agreement’s anniversary Thursday, President Barack Obama said it has succeeded in rolling back Iran’s nuclear program, “avoiding further conflict and making us safer.” But opposition from U.S. Republicans could increase with the revelation that Iran’s potential breakout time would be more than halved over the last few years of the pact.

Also opposed is Israel, which in the past has threatened to strike Iran if it deems that Tehran is close to making a nuclear weapon. Alluding to that possibility, David Albright, whose Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security is a U.S. government go-to resource on Iran’s nuclear program, said the plan outlined in the document “will create a great deal of instability and possibly even lead to war, if regional tensions have not subsided.”

    A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots! AND TYRANTS AND BUREAUCRAPS!!!

    If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but 
not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might 
live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or 
to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might 
live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a 
check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not 
to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that 
was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from 
owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty 
F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a 
nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but 
not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make 
you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is
 run by idiots.

    If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a 
wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman 
in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head 
searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but 
is run by idiots.

    If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions 
of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a 
nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his 
teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class 
in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation 
that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more 
government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with 
Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free
 cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses 
but is run by idiots.

    If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to 
provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment 
checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was 
diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation 
that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest 
big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a 
wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government 
forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a
 nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself 
makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a 
nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If the media panders to your openly socialist leader while the IRS targets groups with dissenting views— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If your government ‘cracks down’ on legal gun sales to law abiding citizens while secretly supplying illegal guns to Mexican drug cartels— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    If your local government (Chicago) outlawed gun ownership for ‘the safety of its citizens’ and now boasts the worst murder rate in the country — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

    What a country!

    How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America?

        That Post has been going around for donkey’s years … since the Reagan revival as I recall.
        This particular administration has little to do with it … having said, I too agree with many of the sentiments expressed therein, but much of the tomfoolery was inflicted by State or City governments rather than the Feds. Place blame where it belongs because that’s the only way we’ll ever be able to address the resulting problems

      Bob, I’m so sorry … Obama just hasn’t tried hard enough to destroy the nation since the 2008 depression that occurred as a result of Republican economic mismanagement. After all, when compared with the rest of the world, the USA seem to have recovered faster than any other country. The UK and Europe are still dragging their asses, Russia is a mess in spite of its cheerless leader, China has made some major mistakes in its internal infrastructure investments that will slug its growth, and India and Africa are struggling.
      So, let’s all send a letter to Obama to try harder to really mess up – what a jerk !

    I agree the Congress need to impeach that snake in the grass Obama. He is one sorry SOB selling out the hard working American people. That is what going to happen when Israel finds out that Iran is making nuclear bombs that is going be another war that is going to be all she wrote end of the world.

  10. Justin W says

    This comes as no surprise. President Obama has consistently worked to destroy America. His policies have had the effect of making things worse for America and Americans.

    Hopefully President Trump will deal in a tough manner with Iran. Hopefully he will put a team in place that will examine Obama deals and start fixing the mess that the Obama administration has made.

    In his semi-autobiography, former MOSSAD spy, Ari Ben-Menashe reveals a tip of the iceberg of trillions that US administrations in the 1970s and 1980s – prior to the alias, Barack H. Obama – have wasted on illegal deals via the MOSSAD. Americans interested in the treasonous subterfuge of the CIA-Bush Sr., CIA-Clinton, CIA-Bush Jr. administrations will improve their info-base by reading Ben-Menashe´s book, “Profits of War: Inside the Secret U.S. – Israeli Arms Network.”
    The book is no longer suppressed by Israeli-controlled publishers and is available from various sources.

      July 19, 2016 at 1:42 pm

      Exactly why the Bushes and Clintons do not want Trump elected. I have a feeling the doors on all of the secrets, back room deals and treason would be opened wide and some people fear the truth coming out. They can’t control Trump,which is the reason they wills top at nothing to defeat him. They want Cinton in office because she is in just as deep as they are. Obama pulled the strings at DOJ and FBI on the Clinton e-mail scandal because he was just as guilty and no telling what those 30,000 “erased” e-mails would have shown. They were deleted for some reason and it sure wasn’t so the people wouldn’t know what they had for dinner.

  15. Constitutionalist says

    July 19, 2016 at 1:37 pm

    Obama should NEVER be impeached.
    Only LEGITIMATE office-holders can be impeached, ergo to impeach him would be to tacitly declare, “Yes, you ARE natural-born and DO have a Constitutionally-legitimate presidency.”

    Just arrest, try, and convict him – anything from fraud(never eligible to run, much less BE president), to “personation”(a crime in which you pretend to be legitimate while NOT being so), to perjury(lying under oath, for D’OweBama has held MANY aliases, as well as not adhered to only the powers the president is legitimately entitled to under Article 2), on down to TREASON, the only crime defined IN the Constitution.

    Why impeach a traitorous, treasonous, fraudulent, con-man perjurer?

    Treat him like someone who has lied on their rental app; evict his ass, him AND his spendthrift wastrel family.

    Or a military coup would also do the trick – basically, whatever it takes to prevent him from issuing a presidential pardon for The Liar and/or her husband or any of the Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush/Rove or any of the OWG/NWO ilk.

    I’m all for impeachment of this so-called president. But who is going to do it? Congress? Now there’s a joke. The Senate? Another joke. Let’s face it we have a lawless government. Obama knows he can do anything he wants and no one will stop him. I would say that is a good indication America is screwed. All thanks to the myriads of low information voters who cared more about what they might get from their government and so voted the liar in. Our government is more corrupt than a third world nation. One set of rules for Washington and another for “we the people.” Anybody who voted for Obama should hide his or her head in shame.

    Heck, the shenanigans this admin has pulled.. also included, early on, asking a certain South American country to be willing, and paid to, ship unrefined Uranium to Iran in secret.
    The discussions ended when that country flat refused to participate, but Hillary sold out American Uranium.
    So much has Obama lied to Congress and the American people on this.. and lets face it, any issue that meets resistance, that it isn’t funny, amusing or lightly taken any longer.
    Obama will hide so many records before and after leaving office one would think he has, like Hillary, run his own private intelligence operation within Government.
